December 2009 - 3 seriously injured in West Sussex

Two vehicles were involved in a road traffic collision on the morning of 6th December on the A27 outside the White Swan Pub on the A27, just west of Arundel, West Sussex. Three people were seriously injured, with one woman trapped in the wreckage of her car after it slid down a bank into dense woodland. Emergency services were called to the scene shortly after 9am. Doctors from SIMCAS and the Surrey/Sussex Air Ambulance were involved in extensive efforts to free and resuscitate her, although unfortunately she died later at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton. The Sussex Police helicopter/ambulance also attended.
